Public Acceptance of Cybernetic Avatars in the service sector: Evidence from a Large-Scale Survey in Dubai
Cybernetic avatars are hybrid interaction robots or digital representations that combine autonomous capabilities with teleoperated control. This study investigates the acceptance of cybernetic avatars in the highly multicultural society of Dubai, with particular emphasis on robotic avatars for customer service. Specifically, we explore how acceptance varies as a function of robot appearance (e.g., android, robotic-looking, cartoonish), deployment settings (e.g., shopping malls, hotels, hospital…

Dark Matter Freeze-In and Small-Scale Observables: Novel Mass Bounds and Viable Particle Candidates
The suppression of cosmological structure at small scales is a key signature of dark matter (DM) produced via freeze-in in the low-mass regime. We present a comprehensive analysis of its impact, incorporating recent constraints from Milky Way satellite counts, strong gravitational lensing with JWST data, and the Lyman-$α$ forest. We adopt a general strategy to translate existing warm dark matter (WDM) bounds into lower mass limits for a broad class of DM candidates characterized by quasi-therm…

An 11,000-Study Open-Access Dataset of Longitudinal Magnetic Resonance Images of Brain Metastases
Brain metastases are a common complication of systemic cancer, affecting over 20% of patients with primary malignancies. Longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for diagnosing patients, tracking disease progression, assessing therapeutic response, and guiding treatment selection. However, the manual review of longitudinal imaging is time-intensive, especially for patients with multifocal disease. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers opportunities to streamline image evaluation…

On completeness of certain locally symmetric pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature $(2,2)$
We show geodesic completeness of certain compact locally symmetric pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature $(2,n)$. Our model space $\mathbf{X}$ is a $1$-connected, indecomposable symmetric space of signature $(2,n)$, that admits a unique (up to scale) parallel lightlike vector field. This class of spaces is the natural generalization of the class of Cahen--Wallach spaces to signature $(2,n)$. In dimension $4$ we show that $\mathbf{X}$ has no proper domain $Ω$ which is divisible by the action…

Accelerating Cloud-Based Transcriptomics: Performance Analysis and Optimization of the STAR Aligner Workflow
In this work, we explore the Transcriptomics Atlas pipeline adapted for cost-efficient and high-throughput computing in the cloud. We propose a scalable, cloud-native architecture designed for running a resource-intensive aligner -- STAR -- and processing tens or hundreds of terabytes of RNA-sequencing data. We implement multiple optimization techniques that give significant execution time and cost reduction. The impact of particular optimizations is measured in medium-scale experiments followe…
